Our experience at this apartment was 9/10! The communication with the host, Esperanza, was terrific, as was our check-in experience with Carmen. The apartment is bright and sunny and roomy, with a beautiful large terrace with dining table for 4, plus two sun loungers with cushions. It has a magnificent view of the Santa Barbara castle and a little peek of the sea as well. The only thing to mention is that the terrace faces onto one of the busiest streets in Alicante for dining and nightlife, and can be loud at night, however the main bedroom is at the other end of the apartment and is fairly quiet for sleeping. There was some condiments (oil, salt, pepper) in the apartment and dish soap and shampoos but you will have to buy your own laundry detergent, paper towels, etc. and there were only 2 garbage bags provided. But it was fine for 2 adults for a 1-week stay. And we appreciated having a washer/dryer machine inside. The host also left us a nice small bottle of white wine which we really loved. The only reason for my 9/10 rating vs 10/10 is that if you use the Air Conditioner in the living room, you have to be sure to empty the bucket (on the terrace) which collects the water dripping from the AC hose, so that was a bit of an inconvenience, but it didn’t ruin our stay by any means. We had a wonderful time enjoying the apartment and we really appreciated the great communication with the host (Esperanza) and the greeter (Carmen). We definately recommend staying here!
